Ticket packages for those who want to attend one match on a selected number of match days while visiting four different stadiums of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022.
First and foremost, fans can only purchase their tickets through FIFA’s official website. Fans acquiring tickets other than from FIFA’s official portal run the risk of them being invalidated and turned away at the stadium.
That said, the process of purchasing World Cup tickets is a bit more complicated than just doling out some cash and getting your seat. The first thing to do is to go to the FIFA portal, register yourself, and submit your World Cup ticket purchase application.
Due to the super high demand, FIFA has divided World Cup ticket sales into three phases as follows.
Phase 1
Phase 1 of the World Cup ticket sales began on 19 January and ended on 19 March 2022. This sales phase was composed of a random selection draw sales period and a First Come First Served (FCFS) sales period.
Phase 2
Phase 2 Ticket sales began on 5 April and ended on 28 April 2022. This sales phase was composed of a random selection draw sales period and a First Come First Served (FCFS) sales period.
Phase 3
Phase 3 of the World Cup ticket sale has commenced on Tuesday, 5 July at 12 PM Doha time. Tickets are now available to purchase on a First Come First Served (FCFS) basis.
All fans are advised to carefully plan their Qatar journey and to stay clear of shady websites offering cheap World Cup tickets. Please note that the only official outlet from which to purchase World Cup tickets is fifa.com/tickets.
For fans with yet to acquire their tickets, the final phase allows a single fan to purchase a maximum of six tickets for any one match of the World Cup. For the entirety of the tournament, a 60-ticket cap purchase is in effect.
As mentioned, fans can only get valid tickets from FIFA’s official portal. If you’re looking to sell your ticket, the only way of doing so is by obtaining written permission issued by FIFA.
